A lot of people at school and church think I’m a freak for watching it, but I don’t see what’s wrong. It’s really fun and entertaining, but some people insist it’s only used for pornography, when that’s not at all what I watch. Their comments really lower my confidence, and I feel like what I’m doing isn’t pleasing God. What are your thoughts, girls? Thank you!

Anime are just like any other form of media– they have clean and not so clean ones. I myself watch anime that are generally clean, so as long as you do the same, you’re fine. You can always respond to such people that even Pokemon is an anime too and it isn’t inappropriate, is it? 😉

Hey girls I asked myself this question before too and I honestly looked into it and I do think it’s not okay, well at first I thought it wasn’t because I was pretty addicted too it and ofcourse when something becomes addicting and takes away form your time with God it’s bad, if that’s not the case then also pay attention to why type you are watching what is it representing and ask yourself if it’s something God wants you to be watching. If your gut feeling says no then go with it, but if you still feel ify then don’t hesitate to look further into it kay! I hope o was able to help some how!

I loved anime for a brief time. It can be cute, and I’ve seen mangas and animes with Christian viewpoints, but I’ve also seen a lot of inappropriate ones that make me uncomfortable. People I know who watch anime are usually fans of the darker ones. There is nothing wrong with certain shows, such as “Candy” and “Shoujo Cosette”, but, as is the case with everything from books to music videos, caution must be taken 🙂

I know you asked this earlier this year & may not see this, but the word “anime” is really just the title used for Japanese animation – meaning that all the Japanese animated shows are considered anime. Of course, there are different genres & some are pornographic like American shows are. You and I both know not all are, so I wouldn’t let that bother you! Even my family makes fun of me for liking anime, saying it’s weird. I never cared what they thought tho, cause anime is awesome! XD Besides, as long as you watch something that honors Christ (meaning you’re not watching something dirty & maybe filled with horror), then anime is fine! 🙂 I watch it all the time and can assure you that I’m my faith in God is still amazing! 😀
